PDAs, Cellphones, Wireless Symbian recently announced that its OS has powered 100 million phones. That's not bad - it's a lot of licences - but then, mobile phones shift around a billion units a year now. But a phone with Symbian isn't any old phone. It's a smartphone.

Yea and what can the iPhone bring to the market that Symbian or any other Mobile OS doesnt have yet? Seriously, i wrote it already ( http://blog.2blocksaway.com/2007/01/11/the-iphone-why-it-is-and-wil... ) and I stand by this, Apple is too late, at least with this model of the iPhone and the specs of it. It looks cool but what else? The new S60 3rd edition has the rotating icons as well, so what?

classy, ease of use, itunes, mac osx, incredible screen (166 dpi), 8GB, touch screen, no fixed keyboard, videos, wide screen, from apple. Need anything else?

edit: do you really think that the nokia can compete on all fronts with the iPhone?

i just read your blog! wow.... dont you love the internet! now we all can be armchair know it all.....yea!!!!


look.... in know these iPhone got all your panties in an uproar! but seriously..... your way of life is not threatened!!!! i guarantee that! please... by all means... continue using your nokia, or your treo, or your winphone! i mean, those phones seem to have the spec that the iPhone does not! so obviously.... the iPhone cant be as good... right? so just press on.... have fun!


BUT.... down the road a bit.... say 2....3...4 years... when the iphone and its siblings have captured HUGE market share while the competition seamingly has better specs..... just remember to admit that you were a wee bit short sided... and may have been a bit to emotionaly involved with the anti apple crowd!

5 years ago.... about 42,455 (approx) experts out there said... "the iPod is a failure.....mark our words.... it will suffer the same fate as the mac..."

we all know haw it really turned out!

damn i love the sound of a toilet flushing!!!!!!!

What it brings is ease of use, ease of sync and a multitouch, finger-driven GUI. But mostly, it's about the UI.

Existing phones' UIs all suck. Apple is the world leader in UI design. Result: $$$$!
